1. How did you find out about SN?
From @PictureRoom – thanks dude!
2. How difficult was it to get started? Any feedback?
Easier than I was expecting actually.
3. How much experience do you have with lightning?
Some, simply from using Strike and Coinos. But I'm still learning.
4. Have you read the FAQ already?
Probably not all the way through but I refer to it when necessary.
5. Have you realized that you need to attach a wallet to receive sats?
I did have some wallet confusion. I wondered why I was only receiving CCs but I realized I hadn't fully connected with Coinos. All was well in the end.
6. Do you understand the difference between cowboy credits (CCs) and sats?
Not exactly, but that's ok. Not sure what we can do with our balance of CCs though.
7. How were your first weeks on SN?
So far so good, really enjoying my interactions with the community here and the way the platform and rewards system is built – love it!

Welcome and thanks for answering all these questions!

Makes sense, I mostly just want to make new stackers aware that it exists. Maybe I should rephrase the question since I don't really expect new stackers to read it all lol
Not sure what we can do with our balance of CCs though.
You can use it for everything that you can use sats for! We will always try to spend from it first, except for zaps, that's when we try your attached wallets first, because you're paying another stacker with it, not SN. If your or their wallet fails, we also fallback to CCs for zaps.
Does this make sense?

OK so regarding CCs / Sats, you're saying that when we make a new post, or hit reply, those will come out of our CC balance first and foremost? If zaps use sats – which is great – what are the other ways we can spend our CCs?
Incidentally, all our zaps are failing right now (because Coinos is down) so our Notifications show failed zaps, yet it seems CCs weren't pulled instead?

Yes, if you can pay the full amount. Can’t do partial payments yet.

Posts and comments are the most obvious payments but there is also voting on polls, boosts, donations or territories

Oh right, we only fallback to CCs if it immediately fails (like the receiver couldn’t generate an invoice or your wallet immediately throws an error). But once a sat payment was pending, it does currently not fallback to CCs anymore (even on retry). That’s a technical limitation we still have in our current design.
You can disable your Coinos wallet, then you will get a QR code when you hit retry and all new zaps will use CCs.
Sorry for this experience, still rough on the edges!

It's all good, and Coinos is back so I'm zapping like crazy now lol.
